Easel

It is most often used to hold up a painter's canvas or large sketchbook while the artist is working, or to hold a completed painting for exhibition. Here are some common uses for easels: Studio easels are meant for use in the artist's studio with limited need for the easel to be portable.

Primarily designed to support a painter's canvas or sizable sketchbook during the creative process, easels serve a dual purpose by also showcasing finished artworks during exhibitions. Various applications for easels exist, with studio easels being tailored for in-studio use where portability is not a primary concern. These sturdy structures provide a stable platform for artists to work on their projects without the need for constant mobility. In addition to their foundational role in the studio, easels contribute to the presentation and public display of completed artworks, further enhancing their versatility in the artistic process.
